Discover How to Enhance the Performance of Your Supply Chain

The APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) certification develops a comprehensive, end-to-end understanding of supply chain management. You'll explore how demand, sourcing, suppliers, internal operations, inventory, logistics, customers, technology, sustainability and risk interact as part of one connected supply chain.

Rather than focusing on a single function, CSCP helps you understand how decisions made in one area can create opportunities, costs and consequences throughout the entire network.

What CSCP Can Help You Do

After developing the knowledge covered by CSCP, you'll be better equipped to:

  • Understand supply chains from suppliers through customers
  • Evaluate decisions from an end-to-end supply chain perspective
  • Improve collaboration across suppliers, operations, logistics and customers
  • Understand global supply chain network considerations
  • Make more informed sourcing and supply decisions
  • Strengthen supply chain relationships
  • Identify and manage supply chain risks
  • Build greater supply chain resilience
  • Understand the role of technology and sustainability in supply chain performance
  • Connect supply chain decisions with organizational objectives

Who Should Consider CSCP?

CSCP is particularly valuable for professionals who want broader supply chain responsibility or  greater cross-functional expertise, including:

Supply Chain Managers • Procurement Professionals • Operations Managers • Supply Chain  Analysts • Consultants • Supply Chain Leaders

The Value of CSCP

CSCP helps you move beyond functional expertise and develop an integrated view of the supply chain. That broader perspective can help you communicate across functions, evaluate trade-offs and understand how sourcing, operations, inventory, logistics, customers and suppliers collectively influence business performance.
